Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

16. Quantifiable deviation - departure or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value






17. One of the defining points of a schedule network; a junction point joined to some or all of the other dependency lines






18. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit






19. System of practices - techniques - procedures and rules used by those who work in a discipline

28. An entry in the work breakdown structure that can be at any level






29. Processes required to track - review and regulate the progress and performance of the project - identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required and initiate the corresponding changes.

40. Condition or situation unfavorable to the project - a negative set of circumstances - a negative set of events - a risk that will have a negative impact on a project objective if it occurs - or a possibility for negative changes






41. An information gathering technique used as a way to reach a consensus of experts on a subject. experts on the subject participate in the technique anonymously. a facilitator uses a questionnaire to solicit ideas about the important project points rel
